No Drawing. Application filed August 30, 1916,

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 18, 1917.

Serial No. 118,594. Renewed July 2, 1917. Serial To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that I, Wmmam H. Damon, a citizen of the Uni ed States of America, residing at Los Angeles, county of Los Angeles, State of California have invented a certain new and useful on-Cumulative Wax Polish; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a novel and imroved non-cumulative wax polish for cleanmg and polishing varnished or enameled work or surfaces. I

One object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved composition for the purpose specified which contains no oil, is comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, has no ingredients at all harmful to the finest varnished work, and which is easily applied and adapted to produce quick and comparatively little rubbing.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a novel and improved cleaning and polishing composition, which is highly efiective for its pur ose, and which contains wax but is of, such 0 aracter that thewax is noncumulative no matter how many different times the composition is applied to varnished or enameled surfaces.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will ap car from a careful consideration of the esoription which follows The composition consists of the following ingredients:water, soap, diatomaceous earth, wax, and distillate.

The proportions of the in edients in the composition are approximate y as follows Water Two gallons.

Soap One pound.

Diatomaceous earth--- One to two pounds.

Two pounds.

Two and one-half gallons.

The water is first heated then the soappreferably Ivory or other substantially pure soap-is dissolved in the hot water, and then the diatomaceous earth is added and mixed with the soap and water. The

Wax Distillate" wax, preferably paraifin or cerosin, is melted and mixed with the distillate, and then the mixture of the wax and distillate are added to the mixture diatomaceous earth;

of the water, soa and and then all of t e ingredients are thoroughly mixed together and agitated to form an emulsion. he distillate is a petroleum product of from 45 to gravity (Baum). In use the soap and water clean the varnished surface, the wax hermetically seals and prevents checking and disintegration of the varnish, the diatomaceous earth is a fine abrasive to polish the varnish, and the distillate revivifies the varnish and cuts the wax already on the varnish so that the wax is non-cumulative. The composition may be applied to the varnished surface b rubbing with cotton waste, cloth, chamois sl in, etc. An suitable essential oil or the like may be a ded to the composition to 've it an agreeable odor. The ingredients a ter being mixed and emulsified as set forth remain permanently mixed and in suspension and form a homogeneous composition which can be used-without shaking-to clean, polish, and produce a coating of wax on varnished or enameled surfaces, and is ada ted to leave the surfaces absolutely free rom oil, and with a hard, glo and perfect finish which is finger-mar proof, acid proof, dust-proof, and weatherproof, and which can be washed b water without any bad effect on the finis Iclaimz- 1. The herein-described cleaning and polishing composition consisting of water, soap, diatomaceous earth, wax, and ii ht petroleum distillate, substantially in t e proportions specified.

2. A composition consistin of two gallons of water, one pound o soap, one to two (pounds of diatomaceous earth, two

oun s of wax, and two and one-half galons of light petroleum distillate, substantially as described and for the purposes specified.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification at Los Angeles, county of Los ngeles, State of California, this 18th day of August A. D. 1916.

WILLIAM "H. DAMON.
